That Z must be on airbags. And I don`t really care for the 80`s mini truck too wide wheel look. Not sure why they call it "Old school".

alright, here goes. i don't think i've ever posted in this thread, but i do quite like watching the pics  Grin
but the hot rod above doesn't actually look too difficult to build judging from the mechanics etc. is that the case with many ... forgot the name A.. or B hot rods? or isn't this very fair to say? Wink

Well, what do you mean by "not too difficult to build"? Making complex things look simple is often the most difficult task. I don't know the details of the car but judging from the pics there are some mods like

metalwork
– chopped roof
– angled a-pillar
– filled roof

chassis work
– front end: dropped I beam axle
– rear end: quick change
– hydraulic brake system

engine work
– rebuilt and hopped-up flathead

interior
– fabrication of floor
– fabrication of (what looks like aluminium) door panels
...

That's just the obvious modifications, apart from the complete restoration as it was orginally built in 1951. Now it's up to you to decide whether that's difficult or not.  Wink

LA MARQUE, Texas - A man blamed a low-flying pelican and a dropped cell phone for his veering his million-dollar sports car off a road and into a salt marsh near Galveston.

The story from MSN.

I learnt to drive in an E21, unfortunately not one of these but a cool car all the same, possibly overlooked by comparison to some other BMWs.

Not sure, but I was told many years ago that there are only about a dozen M1's left (US?) as they have all been smashed up.  Shame.  What a GREAT car.  The M1 and the infamous Porsche 917-10
The baddest of the bad.  A real neck snapper and rocketship on rails.

and how about the new M1  Huh

Nico, great pics and info, as always. That car looks like it was designed in the '70s in Japan. Very close lines to the old To#¤tas from that era.

I think it was designed in England, it was a Hillman Avenger before being facelifted and rebranded as a Chrysler after a facelift. They did a version called the 'Tiger' which was designed to compete against the Ford Escort Mexico and RS models. Did fairly well in rallying if I remember correctly.

I need to get out more I think  Shocked

Tiger version
